If we are animals, just like every other animal on Earth, why is it no other animal has created things such as the wheel, vehicles, or anything like we have created? How are we the only animals capable of this, if others are just as intelligent as we are? For example, why haven't chimps and apes created anything such as even the wheel, or discovered fire, or learned to use it?

Environment and education is key To brain development and potential. A child raised in the wild .. With animals .. Will learn only the behaviour patterns associated with that animal group. .. And quite likely would have no concept or drive to reach any potential other than survival.

Totage will your next question be,
''did humans evolve from apes''?

And tote .. My first reaction to the study was it was biased .. Preschool children learn thru play to solve puzzles of this kind whereas monkeys would have no prior understanding .

The researches retested the monkeys a second time after training and familiarisation with the puzzle but they claim it made no difference to the outcome :-)

There was no concept of the wheel until man created it. There was no concept of driving until man created it. Why haven't other animals developed such things? Man manipulates their environment to suit his needs, all other animals adapt to their environment for survival. If their are animals as intelligent as us, why haven't they been able to do similar things as us? There are animals such as dolphins with more intelligent communication/social skills much like us humans, no other animal has the power to create and invent like us. Some insects build "skyscrapers" such as the termite and ants build complex tunnels and high mounds, but is this them simply acting on instinct, or do they have some sort of intelligence to give them these capabilities? Do animals possess the ability to create complexed thoughts like us or do they simply act on instincts to survive?

Evolution, and adaptability will always dictate the survival of a species... But regardless of the level of intellect to become creative in order to ensure survival, in all creation, human is the only species that has the downfall of pride... Made us evolve the way society is right now...

The downfall of religion too, but that's slightly off topic.

Lol.... Religion is just a concept and a guide... Pride in one's religion makes humans slightly more or less fanatical in our viewpoints... It's still human error...

Men are rational, other animals are not.
